Good evening Everyone,
I used my living room to set up my home cinema.
My current layout is:
AV receiver: Marantz SR5014
Front speakers: Dynaudio excite X38 powered by a Sansui AU919
Center channel: Dynaudio Excite x24 powered by the Marantz
Surround speakers: Dynaudio DM 2/7 powered by the Marantz
Sorround back: Qacoustics 3010 powered by the Marantz
No acoustic treatment in the room so far.
I am very happy with the quality of the set up but as I am passionate about sci-fi and action movies I have the feeling sometimes my set up struggles a bit with basses.
I have started to look at subwoofer but, discussing with my father, we came up with an argument about wave length and physics of the room that can actually allow the sub to play and give an effective contribution for my set up.
I am a bit stubborn and I started to look at possibilities and at a local dealer I found these possibilities:
SVS sb2000 pro (single or double sub configuration)
Rel in very different layout , single, double, the HT 1205 , S5SHO... and whatever is in their catalog (official distributor and I might even get discount on discontinued models still available)
B&W DM4S
Of course I do not want die vibrating and I would look for some room treatment to avoid too much resonances.
Does any of you have experiences with similar layout?
What I am looking is:
Suggestion if I should go for 1 or 2 subs (if you have an idea of the model that could suits my need would be fantastic and narrow my trial scheduled for next week)
suggestion on bass traps or acoustic panels I could install.
The budget should be at max 2K
Thank you very much in advance.
Antonio
